标题： Government Transparency Affects Innovation: Evidence from Wireless Products

摘要： 政府透明度是否影响创新？ 我评估了一个政府数据库的发布，该数据库包含美国市场上所有无线设备产品的详细技术信息（N 347千个）。 结果表明，发布后十年内新技术的使用量大约翻了一番，这是一个后续创新的指标。 这种增加影响了相同产品类别和新产品类别中的产品，表明具有新颖性；几年后有所减弱，可能是由于保密和专利申请增加；并且促进了外国竞争者而非美国国内竞争者。 这些结果突显了信息对私营部门创新的重要性。 显示英文摘要

摘要： Does government transparency affect innovation? I evaluate the launch of a government database with detailed technical information on the universe of wireless-enabled products on the U.S. market (N 347 thousand). The results show the launch approximately doubled the use of new technologies in the following ten years, an indicator of follow-on innovation. The increase affected both products in the same and new product classes, suggesting novelty; waned over several years, potentially due to an increase in secrecy and patenting; and boosted foreign more than U.S. domestic competitors. These results highlight the importance of information for private sector innovation.
